We calculate the cohomology rings of a collection of seven dimensional manifolds supporting an S^3 x S^3-action with one dimensional orbit space. These manifolds are of interest to differential geometers studying non-negative and positive…

We study the cohomology of the complexes of differential, integral and pseudo forms on odd symplectic manifolds taking the wedge product with the symplectic form as differential. We show that the cohomology classes are in correspondence…

We study the structure of various invariants of the symmetric powers of a smooth projective curve in terms of that of the Jacobian of the curve. We generalise the results of Macdonald and Collino to various invariants including the…

We consider unitary cocycle deformations of covariant $\ast$-differential calculi. We prove that complex structures, holomorphic bimodules and Chern connections on the deformed calculus are twists of their untwisted counterparts. Moreover,…

This paper establishes compactness results for the moduli stack of holomorphic curves in suitable exploded manifolds. This result together with the analysis in arXiv:0902.0087 allows the definition of Gromov Witten invariants of these…

General expressions are given for Chern forms up to the 13th order in curvature in terms of simple polynomial concomitants of the curvature 2-form for n-dimensional differentiable manifolds having a general linear connection.

We survey various Alexander-type invariants of plane curve complements, with an emphasis on obstructions on the type of groups that can arise as fundamental groups of complements to complex plane curves. Also included are some new…

We give a new CR invariant treatment of the bigraded Rumin complex and related cohomology groups via differential forms. A key benefit is the identification of balanced $A_\infty$-structures on the Rumin and bigraded Rumin complexes. We…

We show by example that the Chern numbers c_1^3 and c_1 c_2 of a complex 3-fold are not determined by the topology of the underlying smooth compact 6-manifold. In fact, we observe that infinitely many different values of a Chern number can…

We give some basics about homological algebra of difference representations. We consider both the difference-discrete and the difference-rational case. We define the corresponding cohomology theories and show the existence of spectral…

A new class of 3-manifold invariants is constructed from representations of the category of framed tangles.

We consider non-Kaehler compact complex manifolds which are homogeneous under the action of a compact Lie group of biholomorphisms and we investigate the existence of special (invariant) Hermitian metrics on these spaces. We focus on a…

We introduce exponential complexes of sheaves on manifolds. They are resolutions of the (Tate twisted) constant sheaves of the rational numbers, generalising the short exact exponential sequence. There are canonical maps from the…

For closed oriented manifolds, we establish oriented homotopy invariance of higher signatures that come from the fundamental group of a large class of orientable 3-manifolds, including the ``piecewise geometric'' ones in the sense of…

The aim of this paper is to extend Gerstenhaber formal deformations of algebras to the case of Hom-Alternative and Hom-Malcev algebras. We construct deformation cohomology groups in low dimensions. Using a composition construction, we give…

A classical result of A. Connes asserts that the Frechet algebra of smooth functions on a smooth compact manifold X provides, by a purely algebraic procedure, the de Rham cohomology of X. Namely the procedure uses Hochschild and cyclic…

Let $M$ be a $G$-manifold and $\om$ a $G$-invariant exact $m$-form on $M$. We indicate when these data allow us to constract a cocycle on a group $G$ with values in the trivial $G$-module $\mathbb R$ and when this cocycle is nontrivial.

We compute the double complex of smooth complex-valued differential forms on projective bundles over and blow-ups of compact complex manifolds up to a suitable notion of quasi-isomorphism. This simultaneously yields formulas for 'all'…

Classical invariant theory establishes a systematic correspondence between algebraic and smooth invariants for compact and reductive Lie groups. However, the extension of these results to non-compact and non-reductive regimes remains a…

We calculate Perelman's invariant for compact complex surfaces and a few other smooth four-manifolds. We also prove some results concerning the dependence of Perelman's invariant on the smooth structure.
